I've heard everyone writes for different reasons. I've heard there's a particular thing that ticks off in every Writer -that one thing- that causes them to pick up a pad and scribble away. For Anne Frank, that one thing is the need to escape. In her words, "I can shake off everything as I write. My sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn." Orwell had three things that ticked him off. I'm guessing Shakespeare had hundreds, me?... call me stingy but I think I lost count at a thousand.
Each day brings me a new thing to say. I'm forever lost in this creative daze and its compelling ways.
I'm a Christian, a Nigerian (male). I write and read... what else? Quite a lot actually but what's the fun in telling you everything all at once?
